FAWM.ORG | Robyn Mackenzie

Artist Bio

Influences: All y’all <3

Hi, I’m Robyn (she/her) and this is my 12th year of FAWMing. Holy crap.

Sometimes I write emotional, wistful ballads about love and longing. Sometimes I write ukulele jingles about snot. All depends on the day. I'm married to the wonderful @katmtl who said she wasn't gonna FAWM this year but has stayed up until 4 am the last few nights recording so I think she's in.

Until 2018, I worked with the beautiful artists over at @vsaredfish,and had 5 wonderful FAWMs with them. You can still check out the music we made together at http://https://soundcloud.com/vsa-red-fish-studios

@hmorg 1 week

Thanks for the comment on "Monolithic Halls"! Looking back at the lyrics, having had them on the back burner for several years and then finishing them quickly, I think that particular line could use a little exposition. Or maybe not, maybe it's just that it's been in my head for so long I can't step out of my own vision.

So...Robin...Have you done anything with that little poem of mine "I had a Dream". I think you said you'd" like to take a stab at it". Any luck? Did your muse kick in? I would be more than happy to work with you if that's something you would like to see happen. Let me know what's happening . if anything. Thanks

thanks for your kind words on 'Sweet Man" for some reason an image from a 70s film i saw as a child called 'the great waldo pepper' about a stunt airplane flyer came to mind and I kind of went from there. So glad the music/words matched for you. look forward to checking out your tunes.

You should never play around with farming equipment! I advise you to stop listening if you don't know of any rehab clinics specialized in breaking that sort of addiction. A neighbor's great uncle went mad listening to his tresher. It was an old steam driven model, but I digress... Thank you for your comment!
@cts 3 weeks

Thanks for coming by! And it's because my fail behind didn't send it to you (although I could've sworn I did).

@wacha 4 weeks

Thank you so much for the kind words on "Can't Escape", I have found that generally have less lyrics in my songs than I used and just try to make the really matter. That really came about doing FAWM. The "whoas" came about when I went to do the vocals, I felt like it needed something there to transition from the chorus back to the verse.

@seemanski 5 weeks

Hi, hope you are well. Gosh, it seems ages since you started up that facebook group, I'd forgotten about that. This has just reminded me. I see you have joined in with the songfights and even won one (congrats there, still waiting for my first win, if I ever get it). I love doing songfights but I don't think we have managed to cross paths on it yet.

Let me know if you fancy a collab, I really enjoyed what we did for that NurEin entry and would love to do something that is a bit more two and fro rather than, can you sing some words for me please?
